"What does the Black Sea teach us?"

The Kiel International Seapower Symposium is an annual highlight for the security policy community. It offers academics and practitioners an excellent opportunity to exchange knowledge.

Under the motto "(Re-)Learning War - Lessons from the Black Sea", the Institute for Security Policy at Kiel University organised the Kiel International Seapower Symposium (KISS) together with the German Institute for Defence and Strategic Studies for the first time this year. Traditionally, the high-calibre conference coincided with the start of this year's Kiel Week and the port call of the participants of the annual Baltops naval manoeuvre.
